Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr is the Local General Hospital situated in the Caerphilly borough. It offers a range of inpatient and outpatient services. The Acute Medical Unit (AMU) at Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr provides rapid, definitive assessment, investigation, and treatment for patients admitted as an emergency via their GP or by ambulance who present with an acute medical complaint. It is a busy, fast-paced environment that offers the opportunity to work closely with the medical team and other professions. Opportunities for learning are vast and will be fully supported.
